Laughter and Death at Gallipoli - 1 Comment
"I looked down into a shallow and narrow gully watching the Indian transport drivers cooking their evening curry. The early evening was very quiet. Against the sunset sky, the hills of Imbros Island were painted blue-grey. Without a seconds warning the .75 shell whistled by me to explode exactly in the cooking fire. War! It was not a battle! It was not a fight! It was a plague going on day by day and month by month. Nowhere was there safety. There was immunity for no one. Whose turn next?"
Arthur Upfield writes of his own experience at Anzac Cove; Laughter and Death at Gallipoli (p 117), reproduced in Up & Down the Real Australia published by Lulu.com, 2009

www.3actsofmurder.com.au this site is not playing its videos very well. [moderator: sorry about that, it appears that the site was a bit overloaded by all the interest on the weekend, but it should be working ok now. The videos are all available on YouTube - search '3 Acts of Murder'. Enjoy!]
